Generation Y Conference

I’m speaking at the ‘Why care about Y?’ conference on 31 March on the topic of ‘Reaching Gen Y.’ As I’ve been researching the topic, I’ve been trying to work out the difference between culture and generation. We like to say that Gen Y are all technologically savvy, but so am I (and others older than me) who are Gen X (or even Boomers.)

It’s interesting researching the range of opinions on the topic across the Internet. However, it reminds me again of the fact that ministry to God’s people must be prepared to change style, but never substance; language, but never message.

Further details about the conference can be found at www.mac.edu.au It goes from 9.30am to 1pm, and costs $25. Greg Clarke will also be speaking.

Bible Study Reunion March 2007

On Saturday night I had the great privilege of meeting with eight of the original gang from the youth Bible study I led from 1989 to 1994. A couple of the guys couldn’t make it due to geographical challenges (Perth and New Zealand!), but for the rest of us it was great to share stories and reflect on the past.

It was great to find out where these guys are in their walk with Jesus, and it gives me lots to pray for them, both as a group and individually.

Thanks to Ben for hosting the night, and Rob for the tasty dessert… mmm….
